Wedding Woes

Manifestation Monday

A job I applied for in September and interviewed for in October (multiple rounds) got in touch last week after total silence. “Just checking if you are still interested? We really liked you! Let us know and we will discuss next steps.” And I immediately responded that I’m very much still interested and what are the next steps. And they were all amazing we will be in touch soon. So if we could all collectively manifest that soon= this morning that would be great. 

Re: Manifestation Monday

  • Oh! We also started the last season of Ozark and we love it.  Forgot how good this show is.  Highly recommend. 

  • SO cute!!!
  • @VarunaTT please take care of yourself!  

    @STARMOON44 all the job vibes!

    @climbingsingle happy wishes to you auntie!

    Well, as the meme's say, there's one day left in January and (knock on wood) I don't have COVID-19 but I won't talk about the song that's stuck in my head after watching a certain animated movie over the weekend.  

    Kiddos had a 2 hour delay and now it's starting to feel "normal" in the house.  The backyard looks gloriously pristine in the snow and I LOVE it but would prefer not to squint at the ground.

    I feel this is next gen Fight club lmfao
  • Sending all the good vibes @STARMOON44
    That's so exciting about solo driving @MissKittyDanger great job.

    My bff is currently sitting at the airport waiting to start her journey here. I am so excited, I keep forgetting that her presence means I will have a baby, lol. 

    Our family pictures went well yesterday. DS, of course, took scissors to the front of his hair just hours before we had to do them, lol. But the most exciting thing is that my friend taught me how to do the Bathrobe Curls trick that was trending a couple years ago. It is so incredible, I was Shocked! 

    Here's the sneak peek the photographer sent me.



    How did the New England peeps fair with the snow?
    That is a gorgeous picture and you can't even tell scissors were used!
  • Fingers crossed @STARMOON44
    Lovely photo @missJea@missJeanLouise
    Our snow accumulation was funny, the wind was high so drifts ended up being a big part of the snow fall.  Two inches in some parts of the yard and 2.5 feet in others, lol.

    I also want to let all of you know that it was NOT my husband who burned down the house JIC you're wondering about the CT guy who did it. 
    Shit. Now I gotta check in with the fam. 😂😂
  • @STARMOON44, good vibes for the job! I hope you can get them to tell you why it took so long to respond. 
    @missJeanLouise, you all are adorable!
    @Casadena, Not sure about where you are, but there are a couple of consulting firms here that are moving away from the 100% travel model and focus on local clients. I think covid is also pushing the big firms to do more off-site.

    Cold, lazy weekend here. I'm mostly packed for our trip and need to manifest a negative covid test so that we don't have to cancel. We blew through the first half of Ozarks before I realized that we have to wait again for the rest of it.

    He's someone in Seymour.  It's not even my county! 
  • Weekend was spent under blankets in front of the fire and was most enjoyable. We had some snow but it is just about all gone now. We are bracing for a bunch of snow on Thursday. Of course I have two appointments on Thursday that are going to be a pain to reschedule. Hopefully by my gyn appointment on Friday the roads will be cleared. 

    FX @STARMOON44 for the job!

    good job vibes to you @STARMOON44

    good luck on the job search too @Casadena I admire the face that you're bored at work and seeking more. I get stuck in the bored but comfortable rut 
  • why is my post above formatting like that - I didn't add those spaces!

    @MissKittyDanger I saw what a shitshow Ottawa is right now. And also scary for those who work/live downtown too

  • @missJeanLouise such a cute picture!  I can't even tell he cut it himself

    @CharmedPam what procedure did you have done? I've been out more than in with checking in so I'm sure I missed it.  I hope you start to feel even better soon
  • @STARMOON44, what great news!  Hopefully they'll be quicker now with an official job offer and bringing you on board.

    @Casadena, good luck with your job search.  I'm also glad to hear that couples therapy looks promising.  Although my H and I never went to therapy, we did have a CTJ talk a few years ago to improve our communication when we have a disagreement.  Even after all this time, we still follow our "rules" which has led to shorter disagreements and less hurt feelings on both sides.

    @MissKittyDanger, yay solo driving!  I assume it was in snow, which also impresses me.  I've been driving for decades, but have never driven in snow and would feel dangerous/clueless about it!

    @missJeanLouise, such a cute pic!  You all are a beautiful family.

    I had my endocrinologist appointment on Friday.  But they forgot to check off three of the tests I needed, when they did my blood work.  I go to their office for the blood draw.  Including my A1C, which is THE most important one, smh.  That test tells my doctor what my average blood sugar has been for the last (I think) three months.  They told me I could come back and have my blood drawn.  It's a fasting blood test, so they couldn't do it while I was there for my appointment.  No way!  I'm not taking another half day off work to do that, plus it's not nearly as helpful if I don't have it for my appointment anyway.  I told them to just refund back the tests that weren't run.  I have a high deductible insurance plan and have to pay my blood work out of pocket.

    But I had a number of questions for the doctor and needed one of my main prescriptions adjusted.  So at least I got all of that done.  When I told him about what happened with my COVID exposure and then crazy blood glucose numbers for a week, even though I tested negative.  He agreed that I probably did have COVID.  He said that, especially for people who are already vaccinated, the viral load can still be too small to be picked up on a test. 

    We picked up our king cake on Saturday from the bakery that is supposed to have one of the best in town.  Reputation well deserved!  Both my H and I thought it was one of the best king cakes we've ever had.  It was filled with cream cheese throughout.  So many places are too wimpy with that.  The dough was the perfect consistency and softer than average, which is my preference.  Multiple layers of cinnamon ribbons throughout, which amped up the cinnamon flavor a bit more than average.  But, for me, the really stand out feature was the icing.  Most places use a boring sugar icing that is actually hard (it's supposed to be).  I don't like that at all and usually scrape off as much of the icing as I can.  But this place had a cream cheese frosting, which is about the only kind of frosting I like, and it was light and airy.  I did take pics, but I need to remember to do that from home tonight.  My work computer doesn't let me upload files from my phone.

    Today, I'm training someone for the steel part of my job.  I've only done this once before and I always forget how tiring it is, lol.

  • @short+sassy no, it's a protest downtown Ottawa. It's a fkn mess. Google it. Not going well.

    @kvruns we aren't close but M's cousin lives/works there. Schools are shut down. Major mall is shut down. People are being mean.
  • @MissKittyDanger so it’s the freedom convoy gone wrong? From what I’ve read/seen they have been pretty peaceful protests around the country. AmIright?

    glad the NE’ers made it through the storm @ILoveBeachMusic, I can’t wait till ours comes Wed/Thurs too.  Gigantic eyeroll.  I’m typing that out because the small emoji eyeroll won’t do it justice.

    @short+sassy, I have my A1c tonight ironically enough.  I’ve been told the 3 month span too.  And I’ve been really good with a dry January, so I hope my #’s are down. I want to talk about meds with my doc, as well as a sleeping pill since all my OTC sleeping aids don’t work anymore. Mmmmm. Creamcheese frosting is my absolute fave too.  The main reason why I love carrot cake. 

    @kvruns, I had lipo 360. So lower back, waist, hips and abdomen.  The hips and lower back is the only thing that  hurts :( He made it sound like recovery for this non traditional lipo technique (laser lipo) was going to be easy peasy lemon squeezy.  But it hasn’t been.  It’s been difficult difficult lemon difficult!

  • Attempting to get the snow blower that came with my house working in time for possible snow this week. My dad was supposed to help me before they left for FL but never got around to it. now of course I can't get it to work :( 
  • @CharmedPam lololol their main place to go was Ottawa because Parliament. So SOME people are nice but there's been a lot of defacing.

    Few things: 
    Terry Fox statue defaced & put upside down flag
    Tomb of Unknown Soldier & death spot of Nathan Cirillo defaced
    Homeless shelter HARASSED for food/blankets {not by homeless}
    Swastica's around city on signs
    Confederate flag around
    Rideau Mall shut down for covid safety and employee safety
    Man died on way to hospital due to road blockages
    Mocking of indigenious people songs/drumming

    Not to mention people feeling unsafe in their areas, unable to sleep, kids unable to go to school/daycare, people being told to stay out of the downtown area.
    They're taking up an entire street

    But remember, indigenous people took up one intersection to protest how they're treated and residential schools, and 1 pipeline and demanding clean drinking water AND GOT ARRESTED

    Police escorted these people into the city.
  • Busy, but good day here. Getting some work done, the sun is shining even though it’s cold. 
  • @levioosa, thanks for the correction about fasting for the A1C.  There's something they test that I always need to fast for, but I don't even know all the tests they run.  Cholesterol, kidney function, liver function, thyroid panel are some others I remember, but there might be even more.
